this might seem like a random remark, but a poem becomes exeptional to me when sounds and thoughts i hear and have while reading begin to fade into the background. could be because of emotions (e.g. causing a spontanous smile/even tears), maybe because i recognize a fundamental truth in the content. I think there are two ways of reaching that intensity: 1) writing a poem with a lot of thought involved, comparing the effects different words/synonyms have on the poem,.... or 2) writing a poem in a spontanious moment of emotion/understanding/enlightenment... and giving in to the raw feeling, at the danger of sounding cheesy: pouring your heart out with a poem....
